not really sure what you're going for...
first of all, the phenom's are well-known for being not worth the money
secondly, even if you are going for the socket AM2+ route, why did you get a nvidia gpu? I say if you're going to spend that kind of money on the AMD CPU and the AMD motherboard, get a AMD/ATI card so it will at least be crossfire-compatible if you want to upgrade in the future.

Overall, it's not really too bad... you're on the right track. I just think the configuration is a little out of wack.

then get a 3870 instead of the 3870X2 it will run circles around the 8600GT

if you're going to game on it, you're not going to see much of a performance difference between dual core and quad.
Unless, of course, you want your computer to do other things while you game...
